Here’s an interesting bit of news that has gone largely unnoticed. Maple Story, a free 2D MMORPG by Wizet and published by Nexon, will be hitting the Nintendo DS. It looks like Nexon is actually collaborating with Nintendo on the project. If there is any MMORPG that could work with the DS, other than Pokemon, it’s this.
For now, whether or not the game will be released outside of Korea is unknown. However, this announcement was at E3 so who knows? I might actually go back to playing it if it’s on the DS… I quit after Wizet backstabbed its fans by deleting their beta characters after repeatedly denying it would happen. Still, it’s a good game for beginners to the MMORPG genre. The learning curve is not very great at all and it’s completely free to play. It’s not a flash game, you’ll have to download the file at their official website.
